GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Perhaps you see it all of the time, too; a huge dumpster pulled up to a house or large building that's undergoing renovations. Workers, set on a deadline and doing what they are told to do, tossing everything from shutters to large boards. I am one of those people who watches intently, saying in my head: "No! Don't toss that out! I can use that!" Thank goodness for great stores like Odom REUSE.

Odom REUSE, already with one store in the Traverse City area, has just opened a new location in Grand Rapids at 1029 4 Mile Rd. NW, about 1/4 mile west of Alpine, right next to the Plumb's supermarket, just doors down from World Mission Thrift Store.

Their focus is to reduce waste by collecting and selling items that may otherwise get tossed during a renovation, and then passing the savings along to customers.

Say that you are a Smart Shopper, and receive 20 percent off in the month of September on most items.
